Review of Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~

The Storyline was actually really unique and interesting. It is for an Adult audience, and although I am still not 100% into them, I can still enjoy them to nearly the full extent. Anime such as Tokyo Ghoul and Psycho Pass helped me with getting used to the more adult mature themes. But then the ending came around, and although some people didn't mind the ending, I did… Not going to say what happened as that would be spoilers, but it just wasn't right to end it like that in my opinion. 

The Animation was really good and really fit the type of genre and Anime. The Sound was good, but I didn't really like the style of the opening and ending songs, but that’s just my opinion and based also on the type of music I enjoy.

The Characters are all unique and I found it really hard to connect with them that much, but I did start to connect to the main male character around the halfway point in the Anime. I did feel sorry for the main characters and enjoyed when they were kick-ass fighting people. There were a few characters that I really despised and wanted to destroy with my own two hands.

Overall it was a really unique storyline, which could have easily been one of my favourites if it wasn't for the lack of connection to characters and the storyline ending in the way that I didn't like.

Review of Love Stage!!

The Storyline is definitely unique in most ways. I loved the fact is wasn’t all focused on the Love, or the fact it is a Shounen-Ai Anime, but it also has heaps of Comedy in it, which made this Anime so much better. The pace and style of this Anime was actually surprisingly really well done, but I must say, watching the OVA afterwards the main Series, did help end it a bit better, but it’s not essential. 

The Animation and Sound was fantastic and the opening song… was so addicting and catchy and that’s no lie. I also love the eyes of the main boy, it is really well animated.

The Characters, what to say about those damn Characters. Izumi is a young, cute and small guy, but I kept mistaken him being a young boy. I loved the fact he didn’t want to follow in his family’s footsteps but wanted to make his own future and do what he wants to do. Ryouma for me was a very difficult character to like, but eventually I did end up liking him. Some of his traits weren’t appealing at all, but his kindness at times was heart-warming. The relationship between Izumi and Ryouma was sweet and cute but uncomfortable at times, because of Izumi looking so damn young and little. Izumi’s older brother; Shougo was normally the one that makes it the funniest and his obsession and protectiveness over Izumi is pretty cute and funny.

Overall this Anime was shockingly a really good Anime, even though I thought it wouldn’t be. It did romance and comedy justice.

Review of Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride)

The Storyline is pretty similar to other school romance Anime but of course there are some differences. You have the girl that hangs around with “Popular” girls so she isn’t alone. You have the popular boy who doesn’t even need to try. The difference is, it’s not a simpler, I love you, You love Me thing, as there’s problems and difficulties in both the girl and the boy and of course, let’s not forget….Love Triangle, which was the bit I didn’t like. The pace and the way it was told were amazing and well done. I love how it tackled other problems other than the main love interest.

The Animation and Sound was amazing and I loved the Opening song, it was catchy and memorable.

The Characters were the weakest thing of all the Anime. I loved the majority of them, and I loved the main two characters; Kou and Futaba, but some of the Secondary Characters, I just wanted to yell at them, as they were just annoying. The main secondary Character that I didn’t like was Yuuri, she was just in the way all the time, and causes stuff that just shouldn’t have happened, of course by the end, I didn’t mind her, but the majority of the time I didn’t like her.

Overall I really loved this Romance Anime, although certain things really annoyed me. I also hope for a second season, although it’s not the end of the world, if a second season doesn’t come around.

Review of DRAMAtical Murder

The Storyline was a really slow start and now and then was a little slow, but when it finally picked up and was at the right pace it was unique and amazing. I have to say that the description for this Anime really doesn’t cut it.

The Animation was so amazing and unique and to be honest was one of the best things about this Anime.

The Sound was also really good but the opening and ending songs weren’t very good and in my opinion didn’t help with building up excitement for the Anime.

The Characters were also one of the best things about this Anime; there wasn’t one character like another character. They were all very unique but my favourite characters were Clear and Noiz.

Overall I really loved this Anime series but some changes could have been improved. This Anime hasn’t been noticed very much but hopefully it will soon.

Review of Tokyo Ghoul

I was kind of scared to start this series as I knew it had gore and it was horror... And those two put together isn't normally my cup of tea, but I heard loads of good things about this Anime, so I thought I would venture into the unknown.

The storyline took a while to get into because of those two things that I said, but I got used to it, it's strange to say but this Anime has most certainly helped me expand my horizons on Anime and what I can and cannot stand.

The Animation was really good although there was times when I was a little confused... on why they were animating it this way. 

The Sound was amazing, and the opening OP although I didn't like at first, grew on me... damn you Tokyo Ghoul.
The characters were nearly perfect, even the evil ones. I really loved how they were placed and used in this Anime, although one character should have had more screen time. I have to admit that I felt really sorry for Kaneki and the situation that was dumped onto him.

Overall I really loved this season and can’t wait for the second season that is to come out, really soon.(Jan 2015)

Review of Kaichou wa Maid-sama!

The storyline is so awesome and the only problem I had was the slow start. Although it has very similar things to other anime for some reason this anime made it unique and different. The funny parts mixed with the serious stuff and with the romance was a great way of making a unique and amazing anime that after a few eps had me hooked to it. With the romance I have to say it’s one of those that have really made me say “WOW”.

The animation although good was a little bit annoying when they made the characters go into a weird style and although yes it was meant to help make it funny, it really wasn’t needed. The style was similar to what was in “Fullmetal Alchemist” at times when “Edward” was doing something funny but it was fine in that anime as it was only now and then but with this one it really wasn’t needed to be used as much as it did. I have no problem with the sound as the quality was good and the voice actors were equally as good.

Now onto the characters. They were almost perfect to me but slight things annoyed me and made me think “Really!?”. The main characters “Misaki” and “Takumi” are just the cutest and amazing. I really loved the difference between them both yet when they were on screen together, everything just felt right and amazing.

Overall I really enjoyed this anime and I really would recommend this to people who like Romance, Drama and Comedy.
